The drama depicts the early life of Queen Victoria, from her accession to the throne at the age of 18 through to her courtship and marriage to Prince Albert and even her drunken episode at the Coronation Ball, and the Coronation itself.
Victoria's story is compelling enough to keep an engaged audience, and though the acting of the full cast might not be on the same level as the best of the period dramas, it's worth a watch.
